To The Editor: In response to the letter May 10. It is not up to our government to honor national prayer day but for the churches and Christians to live it daily.

True believers do not need one day to celebrate prayer. It is done on a daily basis by those who seek and love God.

We need to stop putting all on one man (whoever the president may be) to change our nation. When one man, that is Christ, has already done that for us. I celebrate Jesus everyday and I donít need a national prayer day to remind me of that.

Stop looking to the government to be accountable keeping this in our hearts. A lot of churches are not doing their part and a lot of Christians are so focused on ritual events: instead of doing the very thing Christ said for us to do. That is to love one another, witness of me (Jesus), pray without ceasing.

The key word is love. To the letter writer, what have you been convicted of lately to do for Christ? Who have you loved to choose Jesus.
